Statement of Significance

The tributary was dammed by William Cruse.

Physical Description

Two small timber footbridges at the base of the dam wall provide a crossing over the mill race and the Ellen Brook tributary which runs through the valley.

History

The bridge stands on the old route of the West Swan Road, which was constructed in 1844 and extended in 1850-51 to join the Gingin Road (Great Northern Highway), at which time the bridge may have been originally built, if it was not built earlier.
